Ngige faults Obi over performance in Senate

August 14, 2013 : Emmanuel Obe, Awka

Dr. Chris Ngige

The Deputy Chairman of the Senate Committee on Power, Senator Chris Ngige, has refuted the allegation that he has been idle at the Senate and that he has failed to sponsor any bill in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

The senator, who is representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, made the rebuttal on Tuesday at Ayom N’Okpala, where he held a town hall meeting with members of the Awka North and South Federal Constituency.

He said contrary to the impression that had been created, he co-sponsored three bills, which he named as the Anti-Gay Bill, the Health Bill and the National Health Insurance Bill.

Governor Peter Obi had last week lashed out at the three senators, representing the state for their inactiveness at the Senate, stressing that they even failed to sponsor a single bill in their 30-month stay in the Senate.

But Ngige said those who had criticised him, were only trying to score cheap political points, in view of the forthcoming governorship election in the state, in which he is participating.

He said he had had to represent the entire Anambra State in the Senate, at some point, when the state did not have representatives from the other two senatorial zones.

He said apart from the Senate President and the Deputy Senate President, no senator had attracted more constituency projects to his constituency than him. The same, he said, went for jobs he had helped to obtain for qualified Nigerians, mainly from Anambra State.

Ngige urged the people to ignore such reports that he was among the 34 senators that had not initiated any bill in the Senate, stating that it was the handiwork of his enemies, who wanted to dent his credentials.

Ngige is finished. In addition, he mingles with the wrong party APC.
Anambra state can never vote APC.

“The same, he said, went for jobs he had helped to obtain for qualified Nigerians, mainly from Anambra State.”

Ngige has always been a ‘lemon’, as governor he was captured like a rat as senator he has been as dumb as dumb could be. Igbo has never produced any intelligent political leader outside azikwe and ojukwu and i wonder why we expect so much from Ngige.
People have never ask how come the Igbo’s are hardly mentioned when discussing how to rule Nigeria. Despite the limited education in the north the north boast of large pool of political leaders willing to provide leadership at the center. While the south-west always rely on the ‘old reliable’ OBJ. But sorry the Igbos have nothing to show for all the struggle of Azikwe and the brutal fight of Ojokwu.
What a big shame.

The Treacherous Yoroba at play with their Propaganda Machine. WE can the voice of Jacob with the hand of Esau at work for spelling the name of Eze Ndigbo Gburugburu Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu as Ojokwu.
Suffice to say nature abhors vacuum. The anointed son of the Dim is picking up the gauntlet where Ojukwu left off. The case of deportation is fresh in our minds
Peter Okute Obi will wear the shoes. They be large for now but his feet will grow to fit.
AS for Chris Ngige, he is a goner politically. He mounted the wrong horse. The Aggrieved Peoples Congress better known as Arewa Jihadists Contraption is not the part for Ndigbo

Voice of the Igbos

You have spoken well… Ngige mounted the wrong horse…. He should make a u-turn i.e. join APGA before it is too late…

Truth be told

The fear of Ngige go kill dis Peter Obi man o.

The accusation of “deportation” allegation Against APC govt of Lagos was an indirect attack on Ngige an APC member. Now this.

At least Peter Obi is coming out to openlyy attack Ngige this time.

All that inter tribal acrimony just because of Anambra governorship elections. Nigerian politicians are just useless.

Ndigbo will not siddon look as Yoroba unleashes terror on her people via deportation of Nigerians on account of place of birth.
Fash the Bash, a legal luminary, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria should have known the legal implication of his odious action. He damned the consequences. A fellow Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana added salt to festering sores by applauding Fash the Bash on the illegal Deportation saga.
The chicken has come to roost, somebody is crying foul.
Chris Ngige Nke gi e kpo for fraternising with Arewa Peoples Congress

Edu/Stuttsgat

thanks bros

Truth be told

has gov Obi not been repatriating non Anambra destitute?

have it your way. I can now safely conclude that an average Igbo man is tribalistic and envies and hates the yoruba man except the contrary is proven.

Edu/Stuttsgat

How many Yorobas has Peter Obi relocated to Lagos?
Fash the Bash is just being petty. on the last count, the number of destitute deported is not up to 1000. This number fades into insignificance juxtaposed with the over 10 million inhabitants of the Mega City.
If we are sincere with ourselves, this tiny infinitesimal number cannot and must not overstretch the resources of Lagos.
Fash the Bash must apologise to Ndigbo for the Odious Infraction on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of NIgeria with his ilegal deportation of Nigerians for whatever reasons

Truth be told

but you will siddon look as your govs plunder your patrimony making sure your descendants get less than they deserve. Have it your way.

Edu/Stuttsgat

Why are you crying more than the bereaved. Are you a Professional Mourner?
Go Mind your Black Amala plus Watery Gbegiri Soup Politrics at Mapo Hall, Agodi.
Gbegele does not pay my Yoroba broda
